Charlie Beams Cartography Portfolio

A selection of mapping and spatial analysis projects spanning forest ecology, climate impact assessment, and community planning.

Map 1 from cartography portfolio
Project 1

This map appeared on a poster presentation showing a forest stand on the St. Lawrence University Campus, assessed for potential Old Growth, including survey plots used.

Map 2 from cartography portfolio
Project 2

This map was the culmination of an independent study using a multiple regression model with inputs such as a LiDAR derived canopy height model, species by basal area, management practices, etc. The output classified each stand within these three state forests based off likelihood of being old growth.

Project 3

Example of the output from Google Earth Engine script using Sentinal-2 RBG imagery to detect and classify forest disturbance at a 10m resolution in the Adirondack Park, NY.

Map 4 from cartography portfolio
Project 4

Map of planned Rich Road Solar Project in Canton, NY derived from georeferenced building plans used to calculate environmental impacts (LiDAR canopy height model and Open LCA IPCC 2050 GHG impacts).
